Accelerating Security Alert Triage & Response

Thursday, December 13 | 2:00 – 3:00p

Networks produce a staggering volume of security alerts every day. In this ocean of data, many assume they need data scientists to find what is relevant and high priority. Speeding up this process is key to limiting the impact of a security event.

That all changes with Immediate Insight, FireMon’s security analytics platform. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the challenges of security alert triage, the implications of gaps in alert analysis and how Immediate Insight can streamline and automate data analysis to accelerate triage and response.

Immediate Insight co-founder, Jeff Barker, will also demonstrate the benefit of integrating security analytics with a policy management system, such as FireMon Security Manager, to give responders a unique view of how security policy changes and status can be used to correlate network and security data to accelerate the process even more.

Firewall Sprawl: Top Four Security Gaps Exposed

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

Security infrastructures are growing in complexity at an alarming rate, creating an unmanageable, chaotic environment. This “firewall sprawl” results in a more risk-prone network that could lead to a compromise without remediation.

So what should you be on the lookout for? Join us as we expose the Top Four Security Gaps caused by firewall sprawl and show you how to wrangle the chaos with intelligence and automation.

What to Do Before Your Next Firewall Migration

Tuesday, October 11, 2016

There are a lot of upsides to migrating firewalls – better performance, enhanced features, more unified security – but the actual process of moving data from one firewall to the other isn’t one of them.

Before you migrate your next firewall – check out this webinar from Tim Woods, FireMon VP of Customer Technology. He’ll outline the best practices you should follow to ensure a smooth, efficient firewall migration that doesn’t disrupt performance or security.

Register today to learn the best practice checklist you should follow for your next firewall migration.

Firewall administration continues to be a manual process for many organizations. And manual usually means slow, and tedious, and error-prone. This results in missed SLAs and increased operational expenses, because, of course, just “ANY” rule won’t do.

By applying intelligence to the planning process, FireMon helps you identify the necessary changes and analyze the impact prior to committing to the change.

In this webinar, Matt Dean, Vice President of Product, will introduce FireMon Intelligent Policy Automation – a standard-setting, full lifecycle management platform that combines automation with contextual analysis to ensure you’re not just speeding up the changes, but optimizing them for both business and security.

Closing the SIEM Gap with Security Analytics

Thursday, June 2, 2016

If your security team is like most, you’re inundated with security events from your SIEM. And if you’ve ever tried to use it in an incident response or threat hunting scenario, you’ve likely found that it was too slow and too difficult to use to get the job done efficiently.

During this webinar, we’ll review how security analytics platform Immediate Insight makes it easier to work with your IT data (in addition to what your SIEM generates) in order to accelerate incident response and hunting/discovery efforts.

2016 State of the Firewall

Tuesday, March 29, 2016

FireMon is proud to present its 2nd Annual State of the Firewall Report based on a November 2015 survey of 700 IT security practitioners, representing a range of professional roles, organization sizes and industry verticals. Survey participants were asked 21 questions about their current firewall infrastructure and management challenges as well as questions about adoption and impact of emerging technologies such as NGFW, SDN and cloud.

When compared with results from the 2015 study, the responses revealed three trends that we will explore during this webinar:

Firewalls remain an extremely valuable part of the network security infrastructure.

Rule Recertification without Spreadsheets

Thursday, March 17, 2016

Firewall policy management becomes increasingly complex as new rules are added to support access requests and changing business demands. The problem is these rules are rarely reviewed or removed. When they are reviewed, IT teams are left stringing together email chains, spreadsheets and proprietary knowledge to determine why the rule exists and if it should be renewed.

FireMon Policy Optimizer automates this entire process, creating a single workflow for firewall rule review, recertification and removal. This means IT teams can quickly validate current access configurations with stakeholders, meet mandatory compliance requirements and identify and eliminate risky rules.

During this discussion of Policy Optimizer’s automated rule review capabilities, we will cover:

21st Century Trends in Data-Driven Security

Thursday, January 14, 2016

IT environments, and the threats against them, have continued to grow more complex in recent years. Systems are available to prevent disruption and malicious activity but, they produce more information than humanly is possible to process.

Security analytics solutions streamline human analysis, providing more insight into SIEM alerts and other IT network data to accelerate incident response and operate more efficiently.

In this live webinar, FireMon’s Immediate Insight team will join guest speaker John Kindervag, VP & Principal Analyst at Forrester to review recent research around security analytics solutions as well as what opportunities a data-driven security program provides the enterprise.

Extending the Life of Your SIEM Solution with Advanced IT Analytics

Wednesday, September 2, 2015

Billions have been invested in SIEM to automate data analysis. Yet SIEM Solutions continue to struggle with the variety and complexity of data coming through. At some point, a human must interpret the data in order to make informed decisions. As we know, the number of human resources required to process that amount of data is hard, if not impossible, to come by.

If that leaves you wanting to give up on SIEM, don’t. Your existing solution can be made better without starting from scratch. FireMon’s newest offering, Immediate Insight, represents a new frontier of data analysis designed specifically for the “human layer” of security. It streamlines data search and correlation and multiplies the number of events your team can handle in a day.

Tuesday, August 11, 2015 The recent data breach at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) demonstrated how dangerous improper third-party access can be to an organization. Even with all of the right security tools in place, you are only as secure as the third parties that have access to your network. So where do you set the threshold for access? How do you know what access is normal and what is not? And how can you catch improper access before it impacts your business?
